This document provides information about two BLAST searches that were conducted to identify unknown DNA and protein sequences. The results of the first BLAST search found a DNA sequence with a high percent identity and low E value, indicating it was a significant match. The second BLAST search found a protein sequence with a high percent identity and query cover, also representing a strong match. The document then explains how to interpret the key fields in a BLAST search result, such as E value, percent identity, and query cover.

Specific databases discussed in detail include GenBank, NCBI, DDBJ, Swiss-Prot, TrEMBL, and UniProt. The document explains the purpose and contributions of these different biological databases.
Bioinformatics is the application of Information technology to store, organize and analyze the vast amount of biological data which is available in the form of sequences and structures of proteins and nucleic acids. The biological information of nucleic acids is available as sequences while the data of proteins is available as sequences and structures.
A biological database is a collection of data that is organized so that its contents can easily be accessed, managed, and updated. The activity of preparing a database can be divided in to:
Collection of data in a form which can be easily accessed
Making it available to a multi-user system (always available for the user)
The document discusses several key nucleic acid and protein databases. It describes the Nucleic Acid Database, which provides 3D structure information about nucleic acids. It also discusses NCBI, a collection of biomedical databases including GenBank that are freely accessible online.

The document discusses protein sequence databases which store large amounts of data generated from genome projects and protein analysis technologies. It describes two main types - sequence repositories which store raw sequences with little annotation, and expertly curated databases like Swiss-Prot and PIR which enrich sequences with additional validated information. It also covers protein structure databases SCOP and CATH which classify domains based on structural similarities and evolutionary relationships.
The Bio2RDF project aims to transform silos of bioinformatics data into a distributed platform for biological knowledge discovery. Initial work focused on building a public database of open-linked data with web-resolvable identifiers that provides information about named entities. This involved a syntactic normalization to convert open data represented in a variety of formats (flatfile, tab, xml, web services) to RDF-based linked data with normalized names (HTTP URIs) and basic typing from source databases. Bio2RDF entities also make reference to other open linked data networks (e.g. dbPedia) thus facilitating traversal across information spaces. However, a significant problem arises when attempting to undertake more sophisticated knowledge discovery approaches such as question answering or symbolic data mining. This is because knowledge is represented in a fundamentally different manner, requiring one to know the underlying data model and reconcile the artefactual differences when they arise. In this talk, we describe our data integration strategy that makes use of both syntactic and semantic normalization to consistently marshal knowledge to a common data model while leveraging explicit logic-based mappings with community ontologies to further enhance the biological knowledgescope.
The document discusses the usage of the World Wide Web (WWW) in biotechnology. It defines the WWW as a collection of websites connected via the internet. Sir Tim Berners Lee invented the core technologies that formed the basis of the modern web in 1989-1990, including HTML, URLs, and HTTP. The web has become essential for research, allowing access to papers, journals, databases of genetic sequences and other resources. Key databases discussed include GenBank, EMBL, and tools like BLAST are used for sequence comparison and analysis of molecular phylogeny.
There are many characteristics of biological data. All these characteristics make the management of biological information a particularly challenging problem. Here mainly we will focus on characteristics of biological information and multidisciplinary field called bioinformatics. Bioinformatics, now a days has emerged with graduate degree programs in several universities.
The document discusses several key databases and tools used for computational biology. It describes MathWorks as a company that provides mathematical computing software. It also explains that computational biology uses data analysis, modeling, and simulation to study biological systems. Several important databases are summarized, including GenBank for nucleotide sequences, EMBL for molecular biology data in Europe, NCBI BLAST for sequence searching, and PDB for 3D protein and nucleic acid structures.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
Esta publicação só está disponível em inglês até o momento.

10. UNIPROT
UNIPROT IS THE UNIVERSAL PROTEIN RESOURCE
TO PROVIDE THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY WITH A SINGLE, CENTRALIZED, AUTHORITATIVE RESOURCE FOR PROTEIN
SEQUENCES AND FUNCTIONAL INFORMATION, THE SWISS-PROT, TREMBL AND PIR PROTEIN DATABASE ACTIVITIES
HAVE UNITED TO FORM THE UNIVERSAL PROTEIN KNOWLEDGEBASE (UNIPROT) CONSORTIUM.ITS MISSION IS TO
PROVIDE A COMPREHENSIVE, FULLY CLASSIFIED, RICHLY AND ACCURATELY ANNOTATED PROTEIN SEQUENCE
KNOWLEDGEBASE, WITH EXTENSIVE CROSS-REFERENCES AND QUERY INTERFACES.
IN UNIPROT, ANNOTATION CONSISTS OF THE DESCRIPTION OF THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
• FUNCTION(S) OF THE PROTEIN;
• ENZYME-SPECIFIC INFORMATION (CATALYTIC ACTIVITY, COFACTORS, METABOLIC PATHWAY, REGULATION
MECHANISMS);
• MOLECULAR WEIGHT DETERMINED BY MASS SPECTROMETRY;
• POLYMORPHISM(S);
• SIMILARITIES TO OTHER PROTEINS;
• USE OF THE PROTEIN IN A BIOTECHNOLOGICAL PROCESS;
• DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH DEFICIENCIES OR ABNORMALITIES OF THE PROTEIN;
• USE OF THE PROTEIN AS A PHARMACEUTICAL DRUG
11. ENTREZ
• A SEARCH AND RETRIEVAL TOOL DEVELOPED BY NCBI THAT IS CAPABLE OF SEARCHING
MULTIPLE NCBI DATABASES WITH JUST ONE QUERY. ENTREZ RETURNS SEARCH RESULTS
THAT CAN INCLUDE A COMBINATION OF MANY TYPES OF DATA ON THE QUERY, SUCH AS
NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES, PROTEIN SEQUENCES, MACROMOLECULAR STRUCTURES, AND
RELATED ARTICLES IN THE LITERATURE.
• PRIOR TO THE CREATION OF ENTREZ, AN INDIVIDUAL MIGHT HAVE TO PLACE ONE
QUERY TO A NUCLEOTIDE DATABASE TO FIND A NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCE, SUBMIT
ANOTHER QUERY TO A STRUCTURAL DATABASE TO FIND THE PUBLISHED STRUCTURE OF
THE GENE PRODUCT, AND SUBMIT A FINAL QUERY TO A LITERATURE DATABASE TO FIND
CITATIONS FOR JOURNAL ARTICLES ON THE QUERY TOPIC.
• NCBI RECOGNIZED THE TIME AND EFFORT THAT COULD BE SAVED BY A TOOL THAT
COULD CROSS-LINK THESE DATABASES AND INTEGRATE ALL INFORMATION RELATED TO
A GIVEN QUERY SUBJECT INTO ONE REPORT
12. GENE ONTOLOGY
• THE GENE ONTOLOGY (GO) KNOWLEDGEBASE IS THE WORLD’S LARGEST SOURCE OF INFORMATION ON THE
FUNCTIONS OF GENES.
• THIS KNOWLEDGE IS BOTH HUMAN-READABLE AND MACHINE-READABLE, AND IS A FOUNDATION FOR
COMPUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF LARGE-SCALE MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND GENETICS EXPERIMENTS IN
BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH
• THE GENE ONTOLOGY ALLOWS USERS TO DESCRIBE A GENE/GENE PRODUCT IN DETAIL,
CONSIDERING THREE MAIN ASPECTS:
i. ITS MOLECULAR FUNCTION
ii. THE BIOLOGICAL PROCESS IN WHICH IT PARTICIPATES,
iii. AND ITS CELLULAR LOCATION.
13. GENE ONTOLOGY CONT.….
THE FUNCTIONS
• FINDING FUNCTIONAL SIMILARITIES IN GENES THAT ARE OVEREXPRESSED OR
UNDER EXPRESSED IN DISEASES AND AS WE AGE;
• PREDICTING THE LIKELIHOOD THAT A PARTICULAR GENE IS INVOLVED IN
DISEASES THAT HAVEN’T YET BEEN MAPPED TO SPECIFIC GENES;
• ANALYSING GROUPS OF GENES THAT ARE CO-EXPRESSED DURING
DEVELOPMENT;
• DEVELOPING AUTOMATED WAYS OF DERIVING INFORMATION ABOUT GENE
FUNCTION FROM THE LITERATURE;

15. BLAST
BASIC LOCAL ALIGNMENT SEARCH TOOL {BLAST}
BLAST FINDS REGIONS OF SIMILARITY BETWEEN BIOLOGICAL SEQUENCES. THE PROGRAM COMPARES
NUCLEOTIDE OR PROTEIN SEQUENCES TO SEQUENCE DATABASES AND CALCULATES THE STATISTICAL
SIGNIFICANCE.
IDENTIFIES SIMILARITIES BETWEEN BIOLOGICAL SEQUENCES BY COMPARING NUCLEOTIDE OR PROTEIN
SEQUENCES TO A DATABASE OF SEQUENCES.
THE BASIC LOCAL ALIGNMENT SEARCH TOOL (BLAST) FINDS REGIONS OF LOCAL SIMILARITY BETWEEN
SEQUENCES. THE PROGRAM COMPARES NUCLEOTIDE OR PROTEIN SEQUENCES TO SEQUENCE DATABASES
AND CALCULATES THE STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF MATCHES. BLAST CAN BE USED TO INFER
FUNCTIONAL AND EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SEQUENCES AS WELL AS HELP IDENTIFY
MEMBERS OF GENE FAMILIES.
. THE PROGRAM COMPARES NUCLEOTIDE OR PROTEIN SEQUENCES TO SEQUENCE DATABASES AND
CALCULATES THE STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF MATCHES. BLAST CAN BE USED TO INFER FUNCTIONAL
AND EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN SEQUENCES AS WELL AS HELP IDENTIFY MEMBERS OF GENE
FAMILIES.
16. THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF BLAST SEARCHES. NCBI'S WEB BLAST OFFERS FOUR MAIN SEARCH
TYPES.
BLASTN, BLASTX, BLASTP AND TBLASTN.
BUT IN THE PRESENTATION WILL LOOK AT THE 2 SEARCHES WHICH ARE COMMONLY USED
i. BLASTN (NUCLEOTIDE BLAST):
COMPARES ONE OR MORE NUCLEOTIDE QUERY SEQUENCES TO A SUBJECT NUCLEOTIDE
SEQUENCE OR A DATABASE OF NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCES. THIS IS USEFUL WHEN TRYING TO
DETERMINE THE EVOLUTIONARY RELATIONSHIPS AMONG DIFFERENT ORGANISMS.
ii. BLASTP (PROTEIN BLAST):
COMPARES ONE OR MORE PROTEIN QUERY SEQUENCES TO A SUBJECT PROTEIN SEQUENCE OR
A DATABASE OF PROTEIN SEQUENCES. THIS IS USEFUL WHEN TRYING TO IDENTIFY A PROTEIN
(SEE FROM SEQUENCE TO PROTEIN AND GENE.)
17. #5. DETAIL ON HOW TO
CONDUCT SEARCHES AND
ILLUSTRATE 2 SEARCHES AND
EXPLAIN RESULTS
18. HOW TO CONDUCT A BLAST SEARCH
i)FROM PROTEIN NAME TO A GENE SEQUENCE
GO TO GenBank WEBSITE TO GET A SPECIFIC PROTEIN SEQUENCE FOR YOUR PROTEIN OF
CHOICE.
YOU CAN GET A PROTEIN SEQUENCE IN FASTA FORMAT OR AN ACCESSION NUMBER.
ii)IDENTIFYING SEQUENCES USING BLAST
1. NAVIGATE TO THE MAIN BLAST PAGE (HTTPS://BLAST.NCBI.NLM.NIH.GOV/BLAST.CGI).
2. SELECT THE APPROPRIATE TYPE OF BLAST FOR YOUR SEQUENCE
3. PASTE THE FIRST UNKNOWN SEQUENCE INTO THE BOX (FOR THIS ACTIVITY, YOU CAN
IGNORE THE SEARCH OPTIONS)
4. CLICK ON THE “BLAST” BUTTON AND WAIT FOR THE RESULTS. BLAST IS USUALLY
FAIRLY QUICK FOR SHORT SEQUENCES, BUT SHOULD STILL TAKE A FEW SECONDS.
5. ONCE THE RESULTS ARE DISPLAYED, NOTICE THERE ARE THREE MAIN HEADINGS:
GRAPHIC SUMMARY, DESCRIPTIONS, AND ALIGNMENTS (THESE MAY BE EXPANDED SO
YOU’LL HAVE TO SCROLL DOWN).
19. FASTA FORMAT
FASTA FORMAT IS USED TO REPRESENT EITHER NUCLEOTIDE OR PEPTIDE SEQUENCES.
THE FIRST LINE IS A COMMENT LINE, BEGINNING WITH “>” AND DESCRIBING THE
SEQUENCE. ALL THE FOLLOWING LINES ARE THE SEQUENCE, IN PLAIN TEXT.
EXAMPLE DNA SEQUENCE IN FASTA FORMAT:
>GI|23423|REF|NM_23542.0| HOMO SAPIENS PROTEIN
ATGAATCGATACGATAGCTAGCTATCGATGCA
GATCAGAGAGGGGCTTTAGCTAGCTAAGCTAG
EXAMPLE PROTEIN SEQUENCE IN FASTA FORMAT:

20. ACCESSION NUMBER
• XM 005537111.1
• THIS IS A UNIQUE IDENTIFIER ASSIGNED TO A RECORD IN SEQUENCE DATABASES
SUCH AS GENBANK
• HAS AN ALPHABETICAL PREFIX AND A SERIES OF DIGITS.
21. HOW TO INTERPRET RESULTS
BLAST RESULTS HAVE THE FOLLOWING FIELDS:
• E VALUE: THE E VALUE (EXPECTED VALUE) IS A NUMBER THAT DESCRIBES HOW MANY
TIMES YOU WOULD EXPECT A MATCH BY CHANCE IN A DATABASE OF THAT SIZE. THE
LOWER THE E VALUE IS, THE MORE SIGNIFICANT THE MATCH.
• PERCENT IDENTITY: THE PERCENT IDENTITY IS A NUMBER THAT DESCRIBES HOW SIMILAR
THE QUERY SEQUENCE IS TO THE TARGET SEQUENCE (HOW MANY CHARACTERS IN EACH
SEQUENCE ARE IDENTICAL). THE HIGHER THE PERCENT IDENTITY IS, THE MORE
SIGNIFICANT THE MATCH.
• QUERY COVER: THE QUERY COVER IS A NUMBER THAT DESCRIBES HOW MUCH OF THE
QUERY SEQUENCE IS COVERED BY THE TARGET SEQUENCE. IF THE TARGET SEQUENCE IN
THE DATABASE SPANS THE WHOLE QUERY SEQUENCE, THEN THE QUERY COVER IS 100%.
THIS TELLS US HOW LONG THE SEQUENCES ARE, RELATIVE TO EACH OTHER.
22. QUESTIONS
1. IN THE DESCRIPTIONS SECTION, LOOK AT THE TOP RESULT, WHICH SHOULD BE
THE RESULT WITH THE HIGHEST SCORE. WRITE DOWN INFORMATION ABOUT THE
BEST MATCH
DESCRIPTION (NO NEED TO WRITE THE WHOLE THING)
E VALUE IDENTITY
QUERY COVER
2. NOW SCROLL DOWN TO THE ALIGNMENTS HEADING. LOOK AT THE TOP RESULT,
WHICH SHOULD BE THE SAME ONE. LOOK AT THE ALIGNMENT BETWEEN YOUR
QUERY AND THE REFERENCE. DO YOU SEE ANY MISMATCHES?
3. HOW CAN YOU JUDGE WHETHER THIS IS A GOOD MATCH?

Editor's Notes
E value can also be the number of expected hits of similar score that could be found just by chance. It is the probability that the sequence you have is not that gene so we need it to be zero so that we you are sure that it’s the correct gene
You can also use the XM number in a case that the description is not written aladin, because not all proteins are named in all species.
